Extended play musical recording longer than a single, but shorter than a full album

An extended play record, often referred to as an EP, is a musical recording that contains more tracks than a single, but is usually unqualified as an album or LP. Contemporary EPs generally contain a minimum of three tracks and maximum of six tracks, and are considered "less expensive and time-consuming" for an artist to produce than an album. An EP originally referred to specific types of vinyl records other than 78 rpm standard play (SP) and LP, but it is now applied to mid-length CDs and downloads as well.

Style

Unlike his previous album Vocal Studies + Uprock Narratives , Herren styles was described by Exclaim! as "opting for more electronic-based noises, rather than chopped up hip-hop beats" while AllMusic called it a "calmer and more collected approach to instrumental hip hop". [1] [2]

<i>Vocal Studies + Uprock Narratives</i> 2001 studio album by Prefuse 73

Vocal Studies + Uprock Narratives is a 2001 studio album by Guillermo Scott Herren, the first released under the name Prefuse 73. The album was released in June 11, 2001 on Warp. The music was created by Herren alone, with some tracks featuring guest vocals from MCs Mikah 9, MF Doom and Aesop Rock as well as vocalist Sam Prekop from The Sea and Cake. Inspired by Miami bass and early 90s hip hop, Herren had been recording music with his Music Production Center (MPC) for Schematic Records, a label known primarily for intelligent dance music (IDM). After working with various local hip hop artists making what he described as "very boring rap beats", Herren was inspired to take his music in a more left-field direction.

Pitchfork Media (7.7/10) [4]

Pitchfork Media gave the EP a 7.7 out of 10 rating, noting that the album was not a retread of his previous LP Vocal Studies + Uprock Narratives and not a sudden change of style either. [4] The review highlighted the tracks "Desks.Pencils.Bottles" and "When Irony Wears Thin" while finding the final two tracks as "slightly less ear-catching." [4] PopMatters praised the album specifically citing the track "Love You Bring" as "essential", only finding an issue with the releases brevity. [5] Exclaim! echoed PopMatters statement of "Love You Bring" as a highlight. [1] AllMusic referred to the release as a "pretty darn good one", but also found the album too short. [2]
